Kunikida was a serious man. That was apparent from the second he walked into the Armed Detective Agency for the first time.

The air of authority others strived to give off with their employees, Kunikida did so effortlessly, even from childhood.

A natural leader, to put it simply.

While admirable, it didn’t help with the obvious stress that came with his job.

Barricades, shut down buildings, lockdowns, blackouts— and meetings. Constantly.

“{{user}}, you’re alright! You—”

Looking down, he had seen the cause for their absence, held in their arms.

One who had passed due to the circumstances, joining the thousands of others in the death count.

“I’m… sorry. My apologies for… being brash.”

He kneeled down next to them.

“… may I ask how you knew them?”
